Phil, stick with what you have. You have a great board and unless you are trying to do something that requires the ABIT (or any other board for that matter), the Epox will work wonders.

I would recommend that you pull that passive heatsink off the NorthBridge chipset and put an active HSF on there instead. With just that small modification, you will increase your FSB and overall stability with that board considerably.

If you really want to hit the 200+ FSB area, then you will probably need to do a small voltage mod but if you get to the 190+ FSB, you will be doing just fine.

I see it as a waste to go out and get the ABIT when you already have a kick a$$ motherboard already. As far as I see it, the only things the ABIT board has over the Epox is: 1) 12V connector, (wish the Epox had that) 2) SATA on-board, 3) Vcore adjustment (not a very good one though so this is more of a perk)

Enjoy!
